Nothing's Alright Everything's Ok
Muph & Plutonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk with heavy steps, shoes caked in cement
With a dried up wallet when
The honesty is spent
A fire in the pocket can burn a mans intent
Two cent pieces, cheap speech free of action
Move these weak knees before
They keep crashing
Stall, now I'm back again
Gotta keep on the ball
When we fall we bounce back, we show backbone
No backstroke counter-attack waiting for
The cash to grow
In the cabbage patch have attatched quickly
Satisfied easily by the simplicity
The industries imagery that'll ram-way
The fan base
Watch the stems break down the system
Many have got to hustle before
They play the victim
Never let the money start
Depicting his visions
Even when hungry he made focused decisions
Had faith in himself to help
Climb a better livin
Knowing at the end of the
Day nothing is alright, but everything is ok
The only way is to keep
Kicking through the rough patch
In the end we can't control everything
And it's best to accept that
Nothing is alright, but everything is ok
Nothing is alright, but everything is ok
"My poetry's deep, I never fell" - Nas
"It was dark when I put it to the light
No question"
High on life like the the air
We breathe is just weed smoke
Inbetween the sighs, the frowns
The crowd of heath hoes
That roll the dice through the
Crabs at the casino, see no evil
Learn no tactics but calculate the factors
That managed the rough patch
Famish with the cutbacks
Scraps slope energy no remedy, fuck that
The sandpaper will scrape the skin
The wounds will heal
So we take it all in, major spins
On this rotating globe
Locating the won't's
Motivating the don't's
Donating some hope in the scope of those
In that less fortunate predicament
Seen angels shut down with stones
And devils build their homes
Sitting in the comfort of
Their gold-plated kitchen
Soul escaping the vision with
A lack of inhibition
A little bitchen is just part of the cause
Pumping fear through television to
Pardon the war but this lion here will walk
Til the vocal cords distort
'Til the short straw offers no hope
And while nothing is alright
Everything is ok though
Nothing is alright, but everything is ok
Nothing is alright, but everything is ok
Nothing is alright
But everything is ok repeats til fade
The lyrics to Muph & Plutonic's song "Nothing's Alright Everything's Ok" delve into the struggles of everyday life and the resilience needed to navigate through difficult times.

The song acknowledges the need to hustle and avoid being victimized by circumstances, emphasizing the importance of making focused decisions and having faith in oneself to achieve a better life.

Line by Line Meaning
Short of a dollar, struggle to pay the rent
Facing financial hardship and unable to meet rent obligations
Walk with heavy steps, shoes caked in cement
Feeling burdened and weighed down by life's difficulties
With a dried up wallet when
Having no money left
The honesty is spent
Being unable to be truthful or genuine due to difficult circumstances
A fire in the pocket can burn a mans intent
Having desires and ambitions, but lacking the means to pursue them
Two cent pieces, cheap speech free of action
Engaging in empty talk and lacking follow-through
Move these weak knees before they keep crashing
Taking action and persevering to avoid further failures or setbacks
Staggering, hands sliding along the wall
Feeling disoriented and unstable, seeking support and guidance
Stall, now I'm back again, gotta keep on the ball
Taking a pause, but quickly regaining motivation and determination
When we fall we bounce back, we show backbone
Resiliently recovering from failures and demonstrating strength
No backstroke counter-attack waiting for the cash to grow
Not relying on a windfall, but actively working towards financial stability
In the cabbage patch have attached quickly
Finding contentment and satisfaction in simple pleasures
Satisfied easily by the simplicity
Being easily pleased with uncomplicated joys in life
The industries imagery that'll ram-way the fan base
Being influenced by the media's portrayal, which can manipulate fans
Watch the stems break down the system
Observing the grassroots movements challenging the established systems
Many have got to hustle before they play the victim
Having to work hard and strive to succeed rather than adopt a victim mentality
Never let the money start depicting his visions
Not allowing financial constraints to dictate one's aspirations
Even when hungry he made focused decisions
Maintaining clarity of mind and making wise choices despite hardships
Had faith in himself to help climb a better livin
Believing in one's abilities to improve their living conditions
Knowing at the end of the day nothing is alright, but everything is ok
Understanding that life may be challenging, but finding contentment and acceptance in the midst of difficulties
The only way is to keep kicking through the rough patch
Persevering and pushing forward despite encountering obstacles
In the end we can't control everything And it's best to accept that
Recognizing that not everything is within our control and finding peace in accepting that fact
High on life like the air We breathe is just weed smoke
Finding great enjoyment and fulfillment in life, as if every breath is intoxicating
Inbetween the sighs, the frowns The crowd of heath hoes
Amidst moments of sadness and disappointment, surrounded by negative influences
That roll the dice through the crabs at the casino, see no evil
Taking risks and gambling at the expense of others, oblivious to the harm caused
Learn no tactics but calculate the factors
Failing to acquire useful skills, yet constantly analyzing and assessing the variables
That managed the rough patch Famish with the cutbacks
Navigating through difficult times, struggling due to reductions and limitations
Scraps slope energy no remedy, fuck that
Remaining dissatisfied and drained with inadequate resources, refusing to accept it
The sandpaper will scrape the skin The wounds will heal
Experiencing hardships and pain, but eventually recovering and finding healing
So we take it all in, major spins
Absorbing and confronting all challenges head-on, undergoing significant transformations
On this rotating globe Locating the won't's
Navigating through life's obstacles and identifying those resistant to change
Motivating the don't's Donating some hope
Inspiring and encouraging those who are unwilling, while also providing hope
In the scope of those In that less fortunate predicament
Aiming to assist and uplift those who are in disadvantaged situations
Seen angels shut down with stones And devils build their homes
Witnessing good-hearted individuals being attacked and discouraged, while the wicked thrive
Sitting in the comfort of Their gold-plated kitchen
Observing those in privileged positions enjoying material wealth and luxury
Soul escaping the vision with A lack of inhibition
Disengaging from meaningful pursuits and losing enthusiasm due to a lack of freedom
A little bitchen is just part of the cause
Complaining or expressing discontent is an expected consequence of their situation
Pumping fear through television to Pardon the war
Media spreading fear to justify and excuse conflicts and acts of war
But this lion here will walk Til the vocal cords distort
Remaining determined and resolute until exhaustion, not allowing one's voice to fade
'Til the short straw offers no hope
Persisting even when facing constant challenges and unfavorable circumstances
And while nothing is alright Everything is ok though
Acknowledging that although everything may not be perfect, finding inner peace and acceptance

I just realized that iCarly is like an infinitely shittier version of the Waynes World show
@hillbilly5012
The fuck is icarly
@spammy555
hillbilly5012 An infinitely shittier version of the Wayne's World show
@Adamguy2003
hillbilly5012 A horrible sitcom show that ran on Nickelodeon about two dumb flaky girls who run a stupid webcam series (Which, thinking about it, is often indeed like a much crappier version of the Wayne's World show) that for some reason is supposed to be an Internet hit, and the insipid "adventures" they get up to with their friends behind the scenes. I've had dental work done that's been more pleasant to sit through than what I've seen of that show.
It embodies pretty much everything stupid, lame, and vapid about children's television today.
@hillbilly5012
Adamguy2003 that was an excellent explanation
@quicksilver9345
Adamguy2003 gotta agree, excellent explanation. Damn shame it's compared to Wayne's World however.....cause i fucking love this movie(and their would-be show)
